"Growing Old Disgracefully" lyrics
If the world seems to pass you by, then
It's no wonder to wonder why
If we're surplus to what's required, then
What am I?
Growing old disgracefully is not a bad idea
It beats the hell of staying well, what else is there for me?
Just because you come across as somewhat of a nerd
Doesn't mean you can't be seen as well as being heard
Growing old disgracefully
[?] if you compared those of a certain age
The starting point might be a joint or a hip to be replaced
A man like me there all you'll see a fairly large amount
Who [?] dine [?] wine on tabletops be found
Growing old disgracefully
Growing old disgracefully is manna from above
See the roots excluding you, have them all torn up
And as for those who think the clothes I wear should be refined
They oughta think a soothing pink might be what I've in mind
Growing old disgracefully
It's no wonder to wonder why
If we're surplus to what's required, then
What am I?
Growing old disgracefully is not a bad idea
It beats the hell of staying well, what else is there for me?
Just because you come across as somewhat of a nerd
Doesn't mean you can't be seen as well as being heard
Growing old disgracefully
[?] if you compared those of a certain age
The starting point might be a joint or a hip to be replaced
A man like me there all you'll see a fairly large amount
Who [?] dine [?] wine on tabletops be found
Growing old disgracefully
Growing old disgracefully is manna from above
See the roots excluding you, have them all torn up
And as for those who think the clothes I wear should be refined
They oughta think a soothing pink might be what I've in mind
Growing old disgracefully
